Abstract
Apparatus for protecting a device from transients. The apparatus includes a switching network and a transmission line electrically connecting an input to an output. The switching network includes a detector, a switch, and a communication path therebetween. The detector, such as an electrical-to-optical converter, detects a transient at the input and communicates with the switch The switch then actuates to place a low impendence across the output of the transmission line, thereby attenuating the transient. The switching network has a switching time that equals the sum of the times to detect the transient at the input, transmit a signal corresponding to the detection to the switch, and actuate the switch. The input signal travels from the input to the output along the transmission line, which has a propagation delay. The propagation delay is greater than the switching time of the switch network.
